"I always had difficulty finding a good violin pickup for my treasured, handmade 8-string Hardanger Fiddle. The contact violin Piezo pickups always sounded scratchy and did not reproduce the full frequency range of the instrument. A regular stage mic gave good sound but then I had to stay close to it and my movement was limited. This was until I discovered the Myers 'Feather' violin pickup.

The installation instructions that came with the violin pickup were very clear and I had no trouble, fixing the unit to my violin. What a wonderful surprise to hear the clear tones of the violin pouring out of the speakers of the amp! The 'Feather' violin pickup picked up the full range of resonances of the instrument. I am very pleased with this pickup and would highly recommend the Myers 'Feather' violin microphone to anyone looking for a quality product. I especially liked the belt clip that enables a secure attachment for the mic cords.
